Cid SilverWing Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 So I'm reflecting on the fact that since I'm Norwegian I got ahold of the Norwegian translation of the game (that somehow managed to completely miss out ONE phrase in the game that I manually rectified in the system file), and then it hit me. The English translations are quite tacky, sometimes terribly unrelated to the object in question (worst affected are the vehicles). So how about we put all the official translations together, and then compiled a re-translation? For starters Chrome Crusher + Superdrill = "Super Driller" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 ... The Granite Grinder grinds granite? The Chrome Crusher can crush chrome? What's wrong with it? Interesting idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INB681 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Super Driller is the actual name in Dutch. It doesn't sound dutch at all . But a good idea. I have the game in Dutch, French and Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoctor Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The Granite Grinder grinds granite? The Chrome Crusher can crush chrome? What's wrong with it? Interesting idea though. Chrome isn't as hard as granite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Chrome isn't as hard as granite. Who cares? Let's just say crushing is harder than grinding. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEPICtrainrider Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 One thing my Spanish teacher told me was that you can never perfectly translate something. Even 20,000 leagues under the sea is different. And can someone explain what you want to do better? It's slightly confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 The Chrome Crusher can crush chrome? The Chrome Crusher has a chrome-plated drill that crushes rock. Therefore, the name is referring to the drill itself. It has nothing to do with crushing chrome. Edit: Way to say exactly what I just said, Sonic.
